I got the app before it was pulled. Works pretty good on the sites I tried. Does take a minute or so to load videos. I take it that is the reason for the pull.
Skyfire disappears from iTunes App Store
due to technical difficulties

Trying to get a copy of the Skyfire browser for your iOS device? You may not have much luck, as the pseudo-Flash-capable browser has just disappeared from iTunes App Stores around the globe, mere hours after its splashy debut. When we try to download it for ourselves in the United States we get the message immediately above, and RazorianFly readers are chiming in with reports that the app is no longer available in Greece, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Australia, Canada, Switzerland, Norway, Spain and the UK. We just pinged Skyfire for comment and they say it's not Apple's fault; demand for a Flash video workaround is apparently so high that the company's having server issues and decided to pull the app rather than introduce new users to a sub-par experience. Skyfire assures us that it's adding servers as quickly as it can, but didn't provide an ETA on when we might see the app once more.

I got Flash to work.
I also installed Java from Cydia, but it still wont work on my phone. Do you know if there is something I need to do to turn Java on?

Well the whole flash issue may go away soon... Adobe has been demonstrating a flash to HTML5 converter. So, web sites can be updated to detect safari without flash and send HTML5 instead.
I have an update when I use this app. Yesterday videos loading took about a minutes or so. Today it takes only 10 to 15 seconds.
I was leaning to buy a new tablet that did support Flash. No more. I do hope Skyfire comes out with a iPad app soon.
